EU-Sámi Youth Idea Lab
The EU-Sámi Youth Idea Lab will come up with ideas on how to increase Sámi Youth participation in EU youth initatives and decision-making.
The objective of the EU-Sámi Youth Idea Lab project is to raise awareness among Sámi Youth about EU policies and give youth the chance to engage actively and participate in finding solutions to making their voices heard in the EU. The project's outcome will be a recommendation from Sámi youth to the EU on how to increase Sámi youth participation in EU decision-making. Topics for the Idea Lab will be EU youth initiatives and traineeship programs. The project is a part of the Saami Council’s AWARE-project funded by the European Union.
